    Involuntary swallowing

    Hi all
    Wonder if anyone can help. For the past year i have what i can describe as an involuntary swallow, it happens when i go off go sleep and when i wake up.
    The swallow is not initiated by me, it just happens.
    I have seen a neurologist about other symptoms such as twitching and mentioned the swallowing to him and he said that had nothing to do with mnd.
    I have searched the internet and cant find anything about it either.
    Just would like to know if anyone has had this.
    Thanks

    Doodles Your post is not 100% clear - do you have an MND diagnosis?

          Hi
          Im sorry if my post has offended.
          My understanding of this forum, which i have been told by moderator, is that its for the diagnosed and others who are worried about symptoms.
          Thanks

            Your post didn't offend me whatsoever.

            I was just commenting on how lucky you are not to have been diagnosed with an MND.

              I would rather have aggressive cancer than MND. Truth told.

                I tend to agree, Matthew. Louise has said that all along. An awful lot of terminal cancers still allow you to go for days out, go out for a meal, have a chat with your family and friends, do gardening and DIY. All these activities have been taken from me in the space of a year.
